Floating AI data centers are heading to the open ocean.

Portland startup Panthalassa has raised $140M in a Peter Thiel-led round at a near-$1B valuation.

The wave-powered “lollipop” platforms generate electricity from ocean waves and use seawater for cooling.

Commercial units targeted for 2027.

Innovative use of ocean waves, reminiscent of our ancestors' adaptability to environment.
